The Parisian eleven called to play against Dortmund on Tuesday evening in C1 is almost established.
If we add up the absentees, among whom are certainly Presnel Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes and Marco Asensio – without forgetting Kang-in Lee who is back from injury but released for the Asian Games from the South Korean selection – and those of players certainly not sufficiently recovered from their injuries such as Nordi Mukieke and Fabian Ruiz, the PSG which looms on Tuesday evening is rather clear.
For Paris’s Champions League debut, against Dortmund at the Parc des Princes, Luis Enrique will most likely reinstate Marquinhos and Manuel Ugarte – spared Friday at kick-off due to their late return to selection – into his starting lineup. This in a 4-3-3 already acquired but with room for two elements. The only small question at the start of the season: who will play up front, Kolo Muani or Ramos?
A 100% blue attack?
Dembélé and Mbappé are guaranteed to attack on Tuesday for their part. It remains to be seen whether the aforementioned French international will be preferred by his coach to form a 100% French trident or if the Portuguese – relatively disappointing since his arrival – will have another chance at the forefront. Vitinha and Zaire-Emery will be returned to midfield. Same thing for Hakimi, Skriniar and Hernandez, unstoppable in defense.
The probable Parisian eleven against BvB: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez – Zaire-Emery, Ugarte, Vitinha – Dembélé, Kolo Muani (or Ramos), Mbappé.
